    Pros:
    - Awesome 32-bit era graphics.
    - Good music. Cons: - Controls...Jesus, how would I descibe it. It's like most of beat'em ups, yet imagine that your up and down buttons on the D-pad are broken and you can only move back to the background and to your initial position. Switching between these 'lines' takes way too much dynamics from the game and slows it down quite a bit. What's    Pros:
    - Awesome 32-bit era graphics.
    - Good music.

    Cons:
    - Controls...Jesus, how would I descibe it. It's like most of beat'em ups, yet imagine that your up and down buttons on the D-pad are broken and you can only move back to the background and to your initial position. Switching between these 'lines' takes way too much dynamics from the game and slows it down quite a bit. What's more, it is very diificult to maneurve when there're a lot of enemies (sometimes on nightmare+ it maybe even be impossible to evade their attacks)Secondly, who the **** thought, that having UP as a jump button is a ******* great idea!? Jet let me punch that person in his ugly face.
    - Although music in this game is really good, I feel that it suits Castlevania type of games much more.
    - Leveling up, which isn't that necessary, so why even bother putting it in this game? To make you feel that you've accomplished something?
    - The storyline...it's just there.
    - Voice acting...please, somebody, kill me already, I can't hear it no more. Play the arcade mode to avoid this nuisance.

    Verdict:
    Mediocre.
    That graphics, man...it saved the game for me.    … Expand

    If the developers catered less to fans of dumb teen-oriented anime and tried to make their game more PC-friendly, I would have given it a better score. Because the combat system here is excellent.

    Phantom Breaker's best features are its multiplayer modes, especially the cooperative ones. While it's disappointing that the game doesn't have online play, the chaotic fun of throwing multiple fighters into the mix makes up for it.

    The setting and tone of Phantom Breaker is quite forgettable, particularly for those un-initiated in the way of the Otaku. However, for the most part it’s still hectic and mindless fun.
